This started off as an Engage Cymru pilot project, but has taken off. They have developed brilliant links with the Alzheimers Society and a range of other agencies and bodies supporting mental health. In addition, they were delivery partner for a the 3 university AHRC funded 'Dementia & Imagination' project. Bangor University led on this, with Manchester and Newcastle also involved. http://dementiaandimagination.org.uk/
